Also tested on:
Completed Main Campaign
At the very least the game is playable off of the cartridge.
Frame-rate is bad throughout the whole game. Regularly dropping below 30.
There is a delay on most QTE, between the time it shows up vs. the time you can actually trigger it.
There are regular visual bugs (Clipping through the map, items floating around, two cutscenes having visual glitches etc.)
The last 3 scenes of the game, performance is really bad (sub 20 FPS) and they have many bugs. (around the last 20-30 minutes) It affects the gameplay and makes it difficult to complete. But is overall completable with patience.
One car chase scene kept failing the player regardless how fast it was completed. The issue was fixed after a full game reset.
The last cutscene in the game did not play properly, instead there was just a black screen. The audio for the cutscene played normally.
As of the time of testing Dec 16, 2024 the switch version is the only version of this game that is completable on physical media.
